Using Backup/Restore

  1. Backup the database on SQL Server Express
  2. Restore the database to SQL Server 2005

Using Detach/Attach

  1. Detach the database from SQL Server Express
  2. Attach the database to SQL Server 2005

Note

This assumes the Express Edition is 2005 as well. Downgrading from 2008 to 2005 can be problematic.

Why do you need to copy anything?? Just detach the database (MDF + LDF) from your SQL Server Express, copy the files to the full server, and re-attach the database - and you're done!

You could create an Database Backup, or Drop the Database as Query.
